Arda Güler Plays Another Derby Beyond Atlético - Real Madrid, His Future at Stake

The Turk May Have His Future at Stake in This Wednesday's Champions Derby

This Wednesday, Real Madrid and Atlético will face off in the Champions League round of 16 at the Metropolitano. A match in which both teams have placed all their expectations in recent days. The Whites have the advantage after the 2-1 win in the first leg, but nothing is decided yet.

Therefore, there is a lot at stake for Real Madrid in the classic, but also for one of its players. Arda Güler might see how in another important match he doesn't get minutes and remains on the bench. This could help him make a definitive decision regarding his future.

It seems that two new teams have shown interest in acquiring his services this summer. While he continues to fight for playing time at Real Madrid, he is already starting to consider possible alternatives. In this case, both come from Serie A.

Milan and Inter are closely following the situation of Arda Güler at the Whites. They are aware that the lack of playing time could push him to leave for the next season. Even if it's in the form of a loan, they would welcome his addition.

Arda Güler's Departure Could Pave the Way for Another Signing

Real Madrid wants Arda Güler to stay with the team next season, but they know it could be complicated. Ancelotti's continuity could lead him to request his departure, although they won't accept a transfer. It will only be through a loan to continue counting on him for the future.

But his departure could lead to another signing being facilitated, referring to Nico Paz. The Argentine is having a great season at Como and they are reconsidering his buyback. Although it seemed he would only return if Modric left his spot in the Whites' locker room.

Something that today seems complicated due to his level and because he is considering renewing for another year. But Arda Güler's loan would leave the space for the merengue youth player. By 2026, the Croatian will leave, and both the Turk and Nico could share the team.
